Homework Statement
This is a special relativity question: Two gamma rays of identical energies E collide with an angle \theta between their velocities. Show that positron-electron pair creation is impossible in the limiting case \theta=0.
Find the minimum \theta value for p-e creation to the possible.
The Attempt at a Solution
Stuck! If E is greater than election rest mass, can't it happen at any angle?
